With the transfer of captain authority complete, Wang Dong immediately gained control over the two armed mechs behind him.
However, Wang Dong didn't take any action against Yuan Shu, instead continuing to show him respect.
"Mr. Yuan, is there anything else you would like to explain?"
What a joke.
Do you know what a Mid-Grade Body Forging Technique means?
Once someone perfects the Basic Body Forging Technique, they're already approaching the physical limits of the human body.
Breaking through to the Mid-Grade level effectively places one into the realm of the "superhuman."
Even severely injured, Yuan Shu could easily crush someone like Wang Dong—who had never trained in the Body Forging Technique—just like squashing an ant.
Two mere armed mechs weren't enough to give Wang Dong any real sense of security.
"One last small request.
There's not much time left. I hope I can spend my final moments on the Battle Axe without disturbance, so that my soul may forever merge with the ship."
Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction.
"Rest assured, I will see to it. However, from what you've said, it seems the Battle Axe is still being hunted. I hope to review the records you left behind as soon as possible and find a solution quickly."
Wang Dong continued speaking respectfully, though there was a trace of heaviness in his heart.
In his previous life, Wang Dong hadn't dared to make such a request. Instead, he passively waited until Yuan Shu passed away before attempting to operate the Battle Axe.
As a result, during that delay, the Jin family's battleship, while scanning the nearby area, detected anomalies in this star region and tracked down the Battle Axe.
The stealth-enhancing auxiliary module aboard the Battle Axe had still been in its cooldown phase and couldn't be activated immediately.
Wang Dong had to rely on his familiarity with the terrain to play a deadly game of hide-and-seek with the Jin family's scout ship, barely stalling long enough for the module to recover and re-enable stealth, temporarily escaping pursuit.
However, during the process of stalling, the Battle Axe was heavily damaged by the Jin family's battleship, losing the initiative entirely and planting the seeds for the desperate and reckless moves Wang Dong was later forced to take.
To avoid wasting such precious time again, Wang Dong made a different choice this time.
"Very well. You're already the captain, and this is your right. It seems your ability to adapt and respond is truly remarkable."
After a brief pause, Yuan Shu said this with a trace of relief.
Wang Dong let out a deep breath in his heart.
"Done. I've firmly grasped the first turning point of fate."
In the real world, the situation reached a temporary resolution.
At this moment, Wang Dong felt a major difference in his mind after gaining captain authority.
"Host acquired.
Self-diagnostic in progress...
Self-diagnostic complete.
Host qualified.
System functionality successfully activated."
This was Wang Dong's "golden finger"—a system prompt indicating that the Battleship Game Auxiliary System in his mind had officially been activated!
Lines of mysterious code streamed down the system interface in his consciousness.
"Permanent Function Two: High-Speed Human-Machine Data Interface, activated."
The next moment, Wang Dong felt a warm flame inside the Battle Axe establishing a mysterious connection with him.
That was the Shipborne Fire Seed.
Through this connection, he could clearly sense the condition of the entire battleship.
Similar to using a system's scan function to closely examine a battleship, at this moment, the Battle Axe's overall hull structure and the status of each module were all laid bare in Wang Dong's mind.
It was as if the battleship had become an extension of Wang Dong's mind—massive amounts of data feedback instantly flowed in with a single thought.
"Query basic ship data."
"Beep. This ship is the Spark-class destroyer Battle Axe. Performance parameters are as follows: Main Cannon LV.2, Armor LV.2, Engine LV.2, Sky-Survey Radar LV.1, Ship Structure LV.0, Energy Shield LV.2. Overall rating: Spark-class Destroyer LV.6. Remaining Source Points: 12. Source Points Acquisition Rate: 25%."
"Installed auxiliary modules include: Pegasus Jump Drive LV.0, Quantum Entangled Brainwave Manipulation System LV.0, Mirage System LV.0."
"Armor damage: 38%. Hull damage: 4%. Damage schematic as follows…"
"Main cannon ammo remaining: 123 rounds. Secondary cannon ammo remaining: 2012 rounds. Energy remaining: 2298 units. Life support resources remaining: 393 units."
This string of data, whether read aloud or displayed as written information, would have taken at least ten seconds to relay.
However, now that the Battleship Game Auxiliary System was officially activated in Wang Dong's mind, the exchange of human-machine information took place in an instant.
It was as if his brain had become a computer, capable of processing vast amounts of data in a very short time.
With this, the improvement in operational efficiency was worlds apart.
Indeed, a captain with or without an auxiliary system was like two different species.
In his previous life, after this Battleship Auxiliary System was activated, Wang Dong had marveled at it for a long time.
